Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 19, was indicted on charges including using a weapon of mass destruction and bombing a place of public use, resulting in death.

The 75-page indictment sheds light on about the April 15 attack, which killed three people and injured dozens more, as well as information about how "Inspire," an online al-Qaida magazine, allegedly helped lead Tsarnaev down a path of terrorism.

The indictment revealed that Tsarnaev and his older brother, Tamerlan, visited a firing range in Manchester, where Dzhokhar rented two 9mm handguns, bought 200 rounds of ammunition and engaged in target practice with his brother for around one hour.

The document also confirms that Tamerlan Tsarnaev bought 48 mortars containing approximately eight pounds of low-explosive powder from Phantom Fireworks in Seabrook.

The brothers are accused of hiding pressure cookers packed with explosives in backpacks and dropping the bags near the finish line of the Boston Marathon.

The indictment describes where the bombs were placed along Boylston Street, steps from the finish line of the 117th running of the race, and how they were detonated.

Tamerlan Tsarnaev detonated a bomb placed in front of Marathon Sports and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev detonated the bomb in front of the Forum restaurant, according to the indictment.

Martin Richard

Martin Richard, 8, of Dorchester, Massachusetts was one of three people killed in the bombings. His father, William Richard, is asking people to "continue to pray for my family as we remember Martin." Richard's mother and sister are recovering from serious injuries sustained in the bombing.

Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was captured in Watertown, several days after the attack, during a firefight with police in which a police officer and Tamerlan Tsarnaev were killed.

While Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was hiding in a drydocked boat in Watertown, he wrote a message on a wall inside the boat, officials said.

"The U.S. Government is killing our innocent civilians. I can't stand to see such evil go unpunished. We Muslims are one body, you hurt one you hurt us all," the note read. "Now I don't like killing innocent people it is forbidden in Islam but due to said (unintelligible) it is allowed. Stop killing our innocent people and we will stop."

Tsarnaev is being held at a medical prison at Fort Devens in Massachusetts.

The U.S. attorney's office said 17 of the charges against Tsarnaev could bring life in prison or the death penalty.
